Now, in an era of remote and hybrid learning, the notion of teaching humanity is somewhat threatened. She has created a series of e-books and paperbacks so that parents can have the tools they need for also teaching social and emotional skills, and in this series, Dr. Shaw discusses what it means to

2025/10/28

In this brief but direct episode, Dr. Shaw reiterates one of her favorite themes and that is to not be the cause of your own suffering. Often when we are disappointed, we accept the outcome. Instead, she recommends that when you encounter a response to something that runs counter to the result you want, look at the situation as an invitation to let go of your attachments and explore another avenue. That exploration can be exciting and inspiring, and is far better than the negativity of

In this episode, Dr. Shaw begins by describing a scenario in which a teen or an adolescent is being provocative and looking to bait you into a fight. When you are baited in this manner, the way you stop yourself from over-reacting or reacting too quickly, she recommends that you pause and ask yourself, "Does this serve me?" The answer is probably not because you don't want to answer confrontation with more confrontation. At the same time, never responding doesn't provide anyone with closure or a

WHEN EVERYONE'S ON BOARD - Teaching Humanity Remotely...

Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw ·

2025/10/07

In this personal episode, Dr. Shaw shares the tale of a recent family vacation that taught here a lesson or two. One of the key things learned from this experience was that a family dynamic is infinitely better when everyone is on board so to speak. If someone doesn't want to be there or doesn't pull their weight whatever that happens to be, it upsets the entire dynamic and forces others to do an unfair share. During Dr. Shaw's family vacation, she witnessed a perfect sharing of responsibilities

2025/09/16

In this somewhat pointed podcast, Dr. Shaw addresses the questions she's been receiving lately about allowing children an abundance or an over-abundance of "screen time."

2025/09/02

Dr. Shaw begins by outlining her motivation for creating this particular podcast, and that rationale is to examine how we are when we feel our feelings.

The most important strategy is to simply not take
